Areas of expertise:

Experience:

I am in the field of academics and research since the year 2000 and worked as a professor and as a research guide with different Universities and Institutions in various academic and administrative capacities. Prior to this, I was working towards my PhD in the Discipline of Mechanical Engineering at IIT Indore as a full-time research scholar with fulltime teaching assistantship under MHRD Govt. of India. I was into academics even before this and obtained the M.Tech in Design Engineering from IIT Bombay during this period.

Research Experience:

Finite element modelling and analysis of cracked bodies such as Gear tooth using the principal of Linear Elastic Fracture Mechanics (LEFM).

Analytical and numerical assessment of mesh stiffness of cracked gears (spur and planetary) for Condition monitoring and fault diagnosis.

Dynamic modelling of multi-degree of freedom system like the automotive transmission with faults.

Dynamic modelling and simulation of single / double stage geared system for fault detection.

Use of signal processing and statistical analysis techniques for early fault detection.

Use of photoelasticity technique for SCF/SIF calculation of cracked gear tooth.

Analysis of Fatigue Damage and Effect of Geometrical Complexity and damage trajectory on the high-cycle fatigue behaviour for Noise and Vibration Harshness.

Passion:

There’s so much to learn and explore in technical education, and it can be tiresome if I don’t have the passion for learning new things every day.

Mission:

To educate and train young Indians for market-oriented and demand-driven skilled and vocational education, irrespective of their background so that their employability can be increased in competitive job market or industries.
